Railway Rates to the National Drill.

epecial to the INDIANAPOLIS Journe-
WAsHINGToN, May 10.-The Pennsylvania
railroad announced its rates for the
tional drill. They For soldiers in uni
form, travelling twenty five one ticket, lin
tied TO ten davs, May 21 to 81, fare for the
round rrip. To the general public the rates
! are 2 cents per mile for distance travelled; all
: singie tickets. This reduction applies to all
points east of Erie and Pittsburg. but does
not affect the present existing rate
between New York and Washington. Secretary
De Leon said to night that this rate about
double that of the Central Traffic and the
Southern associations. both of which give the
three-fourths rate to soldiers in uniform. The
Southern roads also give the general public the
benefit of the soldiers rate. Parties of twenty
five in the West can pay local fare to connecting
points of Southern association roads, and profit
by the three-fourthS rate.

CAIrSTHENIC EXERCISES.

Perhaps the prettieSt sight to the spectator
is that of the school in caliSthcnic exercises
The 400 children march in time with piano
music and then go through with the muscular
movements to the regular cadence of the
music 1t is indeed n pleasant picture, for
every movement Is uniform and falls upon
the accented tone. Yet there is nothing
strained about it, for its rhythm is inspired
10y the music, and the movement becomes
almost involuntary with practice.
At noon the children march in double line
up the stairs to the top of the building, where
the dining room is. There nre long tables ON
iron standards, and on the tables n double
row of bowls or plates, according to the bill
of fare Sometimes the meal consists of meat
and vegetable soup, with buttcrcd rolls, and
sometimes of fish aud bread, or VEGETABLES
and coffee. There Is n coating of white sand
on the floor t. protect it from the hundreds
Of restless feet Ipou il. At the clos" Of the
meal the elder girls assist IN rearranging the
tables
Tn, noon recess is the best hour of the day
in the raildrcn's estimation, for after their
hearty dinner they go 10 the playground in
the rear and basement of the building. The
ncighbors always know when it i, noon, for
the combined noise from 900 threats and 500
mall feet is quite enough 20 notify the whole
community. Locking down upon them, with
ones ears filled with the d"ufcnng chatter,
the most natural explosions are: "Pan!e-
mcnium!' "Bedlam let lpu,e!" But they
enjoy it. Every shout comes from merry
throat and every stamp Of boot heel is but
the echo of a happy, overlooking spirit
within.
The smallest ones prefer the basement for
their playground, and in here, nclOsed 10y
